I am thinking about getting a Tach (rev counter for the Brits) these look very nice - if a little expensive:

But there's no info on how many RPM these 950s will pull? (or the torque or BHP figures)

All these add-on tachs seem to go to 8,000.

Any clues? - I hunted the Yamaha website - nothing.

Luv the bike BTW...

Maximum torque is pulled at around 3000 RPM if that helps?

I had a look and came up with these numbers...

Maximum power: 39.4 kW (54 PS) @ 6,000 rpm

Maximum torque: 76.8 Nm (7,84 kg-m) @ 3,000 rpm

So a Tach that goes to 8K wuld be fine
